Some of you may know that after World War II the Congress for Cultural Freedom organized itself as an intellectual movement against totalitarianism.

A very cheap version of the same thing is happening now in the “resistance” movement in the US which brings together Noam Chomsky, Hillary Clinton and Socialist Alternative under one big tent.
